Without Christ
Whoever serves me must follow me; and where I am, my servant also will be.
John 12:26, niv
Jesus encouraged His disciples by promising, “where I am, my servant also will be.” There is nothing in this world that I desire more than the presence of Jesus in my life.
Nothing . . .
not houses or honors or health,
not cars or careers or children,
not money or marriage or ministry,
not fame or family or freedom,
not promotion or pleasures or position,
not strength or success,
not ability or achievement,
not even love or life itself.
Nothing!
What would it be like not to have Christ in your life? I think that it would be hell—literally.

What are the secrets to a life of impact? Daniel achieved greatness in the eyes of his contemporaries, in the eyes of history, and most importantly, in the eyes of God. His faith did not waver as he faced his critics, as he served new kings in power, or even as he confronted hungry lions. How can we achieve that kind of faith today? Twenty intentional, key choices made all the difference. Daniel’s choices can be ours, such as:
• The choice to listen
• The choice to forgive
• The choice to pray
